I've Been Thinking:

Tensions between the Palestinian Authority and the United States have emerged over the past month. It all stems from the pressure and the outright demands the PA is placing on the US.

The Palestinian Authority wants to declare statehood in September.

They want a clear statement by the United States - especially the President or the Secretary of State, that the Palestinian state will lie within the 1967 borders.

The PA reached some very important international milestones this past week. The UN, the World Bank and the IMF all published reports stating that the Palestinian Authority has the requisite infrastructure to establish a state. In addition, the PA has distributed its 3-year plan which will require $5 billion in donations to spring board the state.

The Palestinian Authority wants America on board.

The United States wants a Palestinian state to emerge out of negotiations - not unilateral declarations.
